The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 427 Side story (A Fei the princess of Jin)

Sima Feng was always careful. Therefore he knew that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation. He pulled the sword and stabbed one of the windows until it pierced out.

The man could hear someone's startled cry and the next second the shout turned into a curse.

" Sima Feng do you want to kill your sister, huh? " It was intentional for the woman to be angry to cover up her crime for eavesdropping on their conversation.

Sima Feng's gurgle opened the window to find A Fei who looked furious staring intently at him.

" I didn't know it was you. What are you standing here for anyway like you're stealing someone else's conversation. "

A Fei stuttered. " Ja-don't indiscriminately accuse. Who eavesdropped on your conversation. I was curious and accidentally heard it. " Said A Fei reasoned.

However when he saw Sima Feng remained silent with a gaze as if ridiculing. He immediately patted his mouth.

You idiot! getting caught is also the end. Falling out was already his pride in Sima Feng's eyes, knowing he had actually done that despicable act.

" all right. I admit, I did eavesdrop. But that's not a problem. Hurry up and tell me what you meant. Don't try to avoid or lie to me. "

Sima Feng had no other choice but to answer A Fei's question. He knows it is useless to avoid when this woman has a high curiosity. His brother will act like a carnivorous animal that bites prey and is reluctant to release it before the prey is weak helpless.

" We talk inside. "

As soon as he entered the room, A Fei saw Sima Feng's subordinate who had seen him salute him and then looked down again.

" You can go. " Sima Feng asked his subordinates to leave. Make room for himself and A Fei to talk.

" Now say! " Push A Fei impatiently. His two hands folded in front were very similar to the superiors overseeing the work of his subordinates.

Sima Feng's originally ordinary face turned serious. While speaking he also provided a record of information regarding the whereabouts of A Guang.

A Fei read a glance as his ears listened to his brother's explanation.

" I just heard a report that Brother A Guang is actually alive. "

Huh huh?

Perhaps that was A Fei's response at this moment. Empty immediately fill his head.

Silence,

A Fei still did not react, his face was still flat as well. The next moment he laughed as if he had just heard a joke.

He slammed the paper in his hand onto the table. " That's not funny. I don't like your jokes. "

" I said really. I will discuss this with my father and ask him to secretly dismantle the grave of Brother A Guang. "

It was up to A Fei to believe it or not. Sima Feng only told him what he knew and would do.

" dismantled? does it have to be? " Honestly A Fei disagreed with the move. He was afraid this information was wrong and actually disrupted his brother's final resting place.

But looking at his serious face, A Fei could now only be sure that his twin brother was not joking.

" How can it be? " A Fei muttered which A Feng could still hear. It was clear that he was being shaken not because he heard bad news but rather happy news that was still difficult for him to believe.

" I'm not sure, but this might have something to do with Jingu. This fact I discovered after secretly following crown prince Nan who turned out to be related to Jingu. "

Jingu!

The name that lately always bothered A Fei's mind.

" So, do you think Jingu has anything to do with his life, brother A Guang? " Tanya A Fei hesitated.

" It's still uncertain, but we'll know as soon as I investigate everything. "

Deep down, A Fei deeply hoped that what was on his mind at the moment would really happen.

Sima Feng immediately relayed the information to his two parents. Even without waiting for long, they immediately carried out the demolition of A Guang's tomb.

Blank.

No skeletons or traces of A Guang's body were found there. It proved that Sima Feng's subordinate report was most likely true.

Ziyan was so happy, she cried. It was unexpected that there would be a miracle that brought him back together with his eldest son.

" My husband, I want to meet A Guang. " I can't wait to meet the son.

" We'll meet soon. But not now, he was currently with crown prince Nan. I don't know what he could do to A Guang if we were reckless. We still don't know the motive why crown prince Nan hid A Guang all this time. " Obviously Sima Rui to the wife even though it is very difficult to refuse the request of the woman he loves.

They can't be rash. It was still unclear, crown prince Nan was an opponent or comrade. But one that Sima Rui was convinced that most likely had something to do with the imminent war.

Therefore by reason of departure towards the border of Nan country. Sima Rui asks her son to secretly meet Crown Prince Nan. He specifically asked Sima Feng himself to meet crown prince Nan hoping that he would understand if they had no other intention than to conduct negotiations.

Sima Feng asked one of the shadow guards to temporarily replace him with Ling He who accompanied the surrogate towards the Border. This is done so that no one is suspicious.

Sima Feng spurred his horse very quickly, along with him behind following Xiao Wen, A Guang's previous bodyguard.

It didn't take long until they finally arrived at a small house.

A Feng descended from the horse, his eyes circling around.

Just a step into the grounds, an arrow shot out and stuck the ground right beside his foot. If he walked a little more forward, not up to an inch and it would really stick his back.

" getting out. I did not come as an enemy. "

And it didn't take long for someone to come out, it wasn't A Guang.

He smiled and walked closer. " Aiyo's.. Crown Prince of the Jin Empire, Sima Feng. I've been waiting for you for a long time. You finally came too. I'm sure one of your men must have told you. Sorry for this warm welcome. "

Yes, crown prince Nan knows that he is being followed. After confirming that the person was Sima Feng's spy, he deliberately let it go.

" You're crown prince Nan? where's my brother? " It's frankly that Sima Feng doesn't care about Crown Prince Nan's 'warm welcome.

" He's inside. Come inside. "

A Feng immediately entered and headed straight for the dining room.

" A Feng, you've finally come too. " A Guang doesn't know what to say. I don't know, he was confused how to express his longing.

Sima Feng still did not reply. Slowly he approached. His feet were still trembling slightly. Right in front of A Guang, without any hesitation, A Feng immediately hugged the elder brother.

A Guang patted his sister's back slowly which seemed to tremble.

A Feng was crying. Although he did not make a sound, but A Guang knew that the brother who had always been cold-faced was now crying.

Her brother, the figure who became her role model after the father finally returned.

" sister.. Thank goodness you're alive. " Sima Feng's voice sounded raucous.

A Feng did not want to ask much at this moment. He only wanted his older brother, A Guang, to know that he was very happy because he was back, alive again.

" Thank you for coming back to life. Thank ye. "

After a while the moment of taking off the miss. Now Sima Feng and crown prince Nan were sitting opposite each other.

" So what do you want? " Task Sima Feng directly.

If it was someone else, it would probably feel depressed with Sima Feng's domineering aura. But Crown Prince Nan still looked calm as if he was not affected at all. Very mentally strong, maybe because he heard his father's abuse too often.

He chuckled at Sima Feng's direct question. He placed the tea into Crown Prince Jin's cup, "Drink it. We can talk slowly. "

Sima Feng took the cup and directly downed it.

Crown Prince Nan chuckled, "It looks like you can't enjoy the art of drinking tea, Your Majesty. " Sima Feng was still silent.

Crown Prince Nan spoke again. " It's like brewing tea. If the tea leaves are soaked for too long, the tea water produced will taste bitter. Similarly if the opposite. If we soak it too quickly, the tea water will taste bland. "

" It is good to know until when the leaf should be submerged and throw it away. So that the tea water produced feels fresh and delicious. " Hisband.

Crown Prince Nan sipped his tea. Very graceful movement, looks very enjoy the tea.

" As is this life. If you rule a country for too long. Sometimes it's not the better, but the worse the way to rule it. And in the end the one who suffers the most is the people. "

Shut up for a moment, Crown Prince Nan then looked at Sima Feng with a serious look.

" You can definitely guess in the direction of this conversation. " See Sima Feng.

" You want to use tomorrow's war to overthrow Emperor Nan at this time. Am I right? "

Crown Prince Nan nodded. " No wonder you always win wars. It turns out that it's easy for you to read the opponent's mind. You are right, I want to overthrow the current Emperor. But not only him, but also his accomplices. Therefore, I want to use you guys. "

********

A week passed after that secret meeting.

Jin troops had long since arrived at the border. They had even surrounded the entrance of the Nan Empire. And it did not take long until finally the Jin troops could seize the city that previously belonged to the Nan Kingdom.

" Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom army has already arrived at the border town. Our defense there was also successfully disabled. Even though they didn't hurt civilians, but all our soldiers they've defeated. There was no other choice but to take off the border town and increase the defenses in the next town. "

" I disagree Your Majesty. We have to take back our city. If we let go, it would be tantamount to our defeat, Your Majesty. "

" Do you think we can still take it after the city is controlled by them. If our military strength is still what it used to be, it's not a difficult thing. But the fact is, our military strength is not okay either. "

the debate of the two Royal ministers made Emperor Nan a dilemma. He was also confused by the steps he had to take.

" Your highness, my advice is that we should take off the border town and focus on strengthening the defenses in the next town. In addition to the percentage of victory is much larger we must also see military funds that continue to thin. State revenues are decreasing and the need for war funds is also getting bigger. If the war continues without victory. I'm sure it doesn't take long for the state treasury to be completely empty. "

The long explanation of the revenue minister makes all ministers and officials now silent. They seem to be aware of the fact of the lack of state income.

After the other Kingdoms ceased cooperation, the only source of income came from taxes. Economic difficulties are also felt by the people because of the poor relationship of the Kingdom of Nan with other Kingdoms. It makes some people get a tax exemption which eventually affects the reduced state income.

All like a domino effect that breaks down one by one the building.

The Emperor immediately gave orders to Jingu. He rushed towards the city where he would lead the army. The news of the fall of the border town had also reached his ears.

" Have you heard from the crown prince? " See his personal bodyguard.

" Reportedly, he had already arrived at the princely Kingdom of Shu. Earlier, the crown prince had also stopped by the border town of Jin for a few days. For what reason, I still don't know. "

If his personal bodyguard didn't know, then his father's spy wouldn't know it either. Jingu was a little grateful, it meant that the elder brother had already managed to meet Sima Feng.

" Do you want me to find out what the crown prince is doing there? "

" It's not necessary. Right now we better focus on this war. I don't want you to get more angry if we have another defeat. "

While in the border city, A Fei was busy treating the wounded soldiers. A Fei's existence had a huge impact. If previously the healers treated the victims with origin and haphazard. Not after A Fei gave a loud rebuke to them.

Even A Fei did not hesitate to punish healers who proved negligent and instead took the opportunity to embezzle funds that should be for the purchase of care needs.

" I'm very happy, thanks to the princess of the wounded soldiers to be able to get proper treatment. Unlike before, I was just a small wound to the point of fearing death because it was so bad to handle them. "

" I also think the same thing. Now even if we fight the enemy soldiers and get seriously injured. I don't have to worry anymore. Because there is a princess who treats us very well. Makes me even more eager to keep suppressing the enemy and return to our family as soon as possible. "

" right. Let's get even more excited about fighting and quickly defeat them. "

The soldiers involved in the chat had no idea that Sima Feng was eavesdropping on the conversation. The man, who rarely smiled in front of anyone other than his family, was now curling his lips even at a glance.

Ling He saw that and knew that the master was happy to hear the soldiers' praise for his younger brother.

" Give them meat. Think of this as our first victory party. " Sima Feng gave the order.

Ling He immediately obeyed the crown prince Jin's order. It was welcomed by the soldiers. Finally they can enjoy a good meal after their hard work.

" Is it okay you guys give me meat? I think it's too early to celebrate. " A Fei who appeared behind Ling He managed to shock the man's heart.

" Daughter, you surprised me. Did you know, you almost made my heart move to the throat. "

A Fei sneered. " Ck. That means your heart is very weak, come to my tent and I will give you a powerful medicine. "

I don't know if it was Ling He's dirty brain or A Fei's strange words. The girl's words sounded ambiguous in her ears.
